FINLAND: Political Paavo

Chewing a fat, four-inch stogie, Finland's
most popular "war criminal" stepped out the gate of Helsinki's Sornas
Prison last week into the welcoming arms of his wife, eight children
and eleven grandchildren. White-haired, 68-year-old
Vaino Tanner, condemned by a Communist-run tribunal for advocating war
with Russia in 1941, had been granted remission of half his 5½-year
sentence. "I am sure I am the best living advertisement for Finnish
prisons," smiled the old man. "I have gained 15 pounds in weight and
feel fitter than ever."
